‡ Authors' Review ‡

• Are the rules and terms of submission easy to find?
  Ahahahahahaha they don't list them. u_u I guess it's purely up to the site maintainer's taste.
• Do they supply a beta reader for authors?
  Nope.
• Are they polite about rejecting fics?
  Perhaps.
• Do they remove author's notes or copyright notices without asking the author first?
  It appears that they do not.
• Do they ever archive fics without permission?
  I have no idea.
• Are they prompt about removing fics at an author's request?
  Unknown.

  They don't have a plagiarism policy listed.
• Do they update at least once a month?
  Mostly! :)

  They give authors' email adresses.

‡ Reader review ‡

• Is the site attractive?
  It's on the spartan side, but that is infinitely preferable to an overly busy site.
• Is the site easy to navigate? (can you get to all the main sections from every page, or do they rely on the 'back' button an awful lot?)
  The site relies heavily on the back button.
• How selective is the archive? (Are you likely to find a good story?)
  There are some good stories on there!
• Are they a specialty (ship or genre centric) or general (only ratings restrictions) archive?
  Ron & Draco only.
• Is it easy to navigate within multi-chaptered stories?
  Each chapter appears on the author page as a seperate link; individual chapters pop up in new windows.
• Are there search engines? Are they easy to use?
  No search engine. This is a small archive, so a search engine isn't appropriate.
• Are the indexes (author, title listings) clearly laid out?
  There is an index by author, and the newest stories are noted on the index page. However, the index page might be newest at the top because it's not in alphabetical order.
• Are stories appropriately labelled if they require warnings?
  NC-17 stories are labeled, but there is no warning page.
• How many pages do you have to search through to get to the first story?
  front page > story list > story.
• Is it easy to leave feedback?
  Yes.
